Wedding Photography at Harlaxton Manor

Harlaxton Manor provided the perfect setting for the beautiful wedding of Amy and Josh. The autumnal weather gave me ideal natural light to play with on the day and resulted in some amazing shots. We were very lucky with the warm weather on this beautiful October day. The wedding ceremony was held at St Mary & St Peters Church in Harlaxton, on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir in Lincolnshire. The ironstone and limestone church is a Grade 1 listed building with parts dating back to the 12th century.

Favourite Venue

After the ceremony, the newly-weds, bridal party and many guests made their way to Harlaxton Manor. This is one of my favourite wedding venues to photograph. The architecture and grounds are absolutely stunning and provide a perfect backdrop. The approach to Harlaxton is truly breathtaking - a straight, mile long drive across an ornate lakeside bridge, and under a gatehouse towards the spectacular manor house. The views from here over the Vale of Belvoir are magnificent.

Wedding Dress

Bride Amy and her bridesmaids certainly complimented the beautiful surroundings. The bride wore an exquisite off-the-shoulder gown designed by Maggie Sottero while her four bridesmaids looked simply elegant in pastel pink. Make-up was done by the wonderfully talented Ali Gunn who I have had the pleasure of working alongside on many occasions. The bride’s sophisticated chignon hairstyle was created by Chelsey Holland.

Wedding Breakfast

The wedding meal provided at Harlaxton was, as always, of an exceptionally high standard, beautifully presented, and a real treat for the taste buds. The manor strives to use fresh local produce wherever possible and every need is catered for. After the brilliant wedding speeches it was of course time to party. The high-spirited guests certainly let their hair down. The evening was fun-filled and lively, enjoyed by all, and exactly as a great wedding should be.
